To replace Ekejiuba on the roster, the Lions have re-signed Anthony Madison.

Madison has spent the majority of his six-year career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 5-foot-9, 180 cornerback appeared in 16 games last season for Pittsburgh, picking up 24 tackles, a sack and an interception.

The Lions actually signed Madison in August, but he was cut when the team reduced the roster to 53 before the start of the regular season.
